On Saturday we received from an anonymous correspondent, a note written on both sides of a half sheet ot paper. In which it was charged that member of the police force had used unnecessary violence in arresting a colored youthful law-breaker. We thought from the tenor of the writer that he had a little too much vinegar ia his composition for j good health, and this, coupled with tbe ) tact that he had not sufficient courage to 1 use his proper name, led ns to consign his model production to the waste basket where all anonymous communications go. Subsequent examination Into the case confirmed our first Impressions that the offl-cer did not use undue violence In the arrest of his prisoner. .. 1. .... . . A Monster Bass Drtjm.

SCENES AND INCIDENTS. -On Saturday, the day, set apart in compliance with general orders from the headqaarters of the Army of the Republic, the people of our city and ylciulty assent bird by thousands to engataiu the solemn services peculiar to the deooratio. of the K raves of those who had lain down their lives that the Nation's honor might ' b preserved. - - The proclamation of Mayor Moeker, sug gesting the closure of business bouses was almost universally respected, and at noon, i th hour designated forlbe commencement Pe0pi "ll lnPlre na with the determina-of theservices atGreeu Lawnhecitv wore S?."S VAte L5..K.ov"n,met; the aspect of the Sabbath day. Never have we seen an occasion pu which there seemed to be such general disposition on the part of the people to ignore all the active duties of business, and to forego the charms and excitements of pleasure. There was but one impulse apparently actuating the man or business, the mechanic, the manufacturer, the farmer, the professional man. Each and all of tbe great crowd in the city, res ldent and visitor, alike looked beyond tbe river to tbe beautiful cemeterv, and eager ly sought opportunities to reach the sa cred precincts. The roadway to the ceme tery was jammed with a Continuous line ot carriages for hours, and crowds of men, women and children braved the beat ot the burning sun, and trudged thither on foot, rather than miss the opportunity to witness the bestowal of honors over the remains of the holy dead. And as the mighty throng gathered in the "City ol the Dead," and drew near to the enclosure in which repose the remains of five hun dred defenders of their country's fltg, the leeling was apparent that it was most proper to devote one day of each recurring year to the simple duty ot bringing them into active remembrance.

Brers. A song by the chorus next succeeded, which was followed by the address of Col. H. B. Wilson, which we report below : ASDRtSS BT COL. H.. B WILSON. It may be truly as well as beautifully said ot our sleeping heroes, that . , ' "Ob fame' grand camping ground " ' 1 heir silent tents are spread, w bile glory crowds with silence round 1 h. bivoaae of th. dead." And we have assembled here, this day to offer a warm and heartfelt tribute of Section to those of our dead, whose ser- 5 ices, and sufferings, and self-sacrificing evotlon to country entitle them to be' umbered with tbe honored, heroic and hallowed. v ' - - ! We know that the strewing of flowers opon their graves this beautiful and poetical tribute to iheir revered memories-can avail them nothing. Thev are far ha. yond tbe scenes of earth, and in that land i l. " W her. .wl acting spring abides, ' " ! Aod Beyax-wiihermg flowers." But It is a grand sentiment, and one which all wjio have been called upon to mourn the loss of dear and loved oaes find comfort In "That life is .tot lord of death. And Iot. can nerer lose its own." It is the living who love such offerings we hear bring to the memories of our deceased soldiers. We would not sever ourselves lroin the loved ones whose devotion to their country has brought them prematurely to their last long sleep. We frel that we must not lose tnem; and we will annually assemble aronnd tft-lr graves and pour out the tribute and affections of our hearts. Many of oscan And no one sleeping here to whom we were at tne tied by tbe ties of relationship; but they are, nevertheless, ours, lor they poured out their precious blood tor s and for our country. They died that we might be saved from anarcby, tyranny and ruin. We would, however, recognize the higher and holier claims of tho-e who have, sleeping here, those who were bone of tneir bone, and fldth of their fljsb; and we would tender to the lriends and relatives of those honored heroes our heartfelt sympathy. We would have them leel that we lully appreciate the self-sacriflie, tbe nobleness ana me patriotism which prompted them to surrender up their dearest ones as an offering to the cause ot equal rights, good government, justice, order and law. But oh I wno can appreciate the magnitude ot tuch a sacrifice Who that haa everbetn me parent ot a dearly beloved ruJi aff ion . thnt0lK ?Q? enMnd confirmed to us by the blood of the ring sn .ction ot a mother, but dopa not k.t,u feel and know that the sacrifice of the living relatives of these hallowed heroes is far beyond the imperfect expression of our feeble language. And tbe indescribable sacrifice of the living is heightened by the tact that the majority of those who fell In defense ot their country during the late war were the most gifted and promising. "Death loves a shining mark a signal blow." I could name . dozen instances which happened nnder my own personal observation, where a gilted son the pride and hope ot bis family was the first to fall. And I am satisfied that If you will cast your eye over the list of those who went from Columbus, and wbo fell and are burled here, or on some far-off battle field, you will find it to be true that the majority of them were boys and young men, who were the idols and hope of their lriends aud relatives.' And it is a aeeminidy strange truth, but it is not unaccountable, f be generous, tbe truthful, the loviug ana the intelligent, are always brave, daring, and patriotic tliey brave danger from a rense of duty and patriotism, aud will not shirk it or skulk from it. - It was; doubtless, some such reflections is these that prompted tbe great modern poet, who bad lost three beloved nephews in the army, to pen these touching Hue: " Rat at-Ut-tattle through the street. 1 bear tbe drumm ers making riot.

The boo tea of all these hallowed dead will moulder away, and the earth will reclaim that dustot which they were made. In-the flight of years their Individual names will pass from the minds ot men and be forgotten; but they will still live, and will move In that long procession of patriot spirits who died for their country, which, as the ages elapse, will be more and more enveloped Ir. a baze of glory, as men peer " uaenwara inrougn tne mists or time. The memory of our soldiers, fallen in ', just cause, can never die. Imperishable, and with nntadlng lustre, tbe recollections ot the patriot dead will shine among the treasures of our country, and live in the heart of tbe last citizen of the Republic And though discord and dissension, rebellion and revolution may shake the great temple of American lioerty to its center, or tbe raging waves 1 political seaamay wash lrom its foundations tbe rock on, which stands the Coi&aalution, their memories will still live undimned bv time to illume the ages and inspire the sons ' oi men to aeeus oi patriotism and virtue, i These silent graves witn which we are surrounded have lessons for us more solemn and .more impressive than - living tongues can teach. Xhey admonish ns that to the same narrow house, from which they lilt a warning, we must all come. And they beseech us, with mute but eloquent tongues, to so live, one with another, to so act, one towards another, that peace and harmony, justice and cnarity may prevail amongst us forever aa citizens of a common country so that, whether tailing in war as defenders ot our country, or dying in peace, we may close our eyes up-' on the world with a consciousness of having left no duty unperlormed, either of defending our country in an hour of peril, or of promoting the peace and harmony of Its citizens in a time of prosperity. The Columbus Msennerchor then sang in German the beautiful song, l-U titer alien Wipflen ist JiuA." Next came the following .duress, by Hon. C. N. Olds : v ADDRESS BY HON. C X. OLDS. ' There have been occasions when silenee Is more appropriate than speech. When a great sorrow tails suddenly upon the heart, the lips are apt to be seatd.. We have all bad such a sorrow, no indi vidual and personal suffering merely, but wnere a wnoie people have been smitten with grlel. . i-- b. la that fearful trial through whldh we nave passed as- a- nation, our experience has been much like that ot ancient Egypt, when it was recorded of her, there vaat not a house tn ait .Vie land, voherei uiert toa not one dead." But we come . here te-dav. to the last resting place ot our beloved dead, after the nrsr- agony or Dereavement hs passed away. Time with Its gentle band has softened our grief, and Christian resignation and hope have shed tholr healing balm Into, the bleeding heart. bun, on an occasion like this, and with these surroundings, our words may well be few.; ?': r f . ' Another' has spoken in the name of our" soldiers, wbo have survived the fho.k of battle and the ravages of war. It has been allotted to me to say a word in behalf of citizens, who, though they have not sustained in their own person the shock of battle, have still suffered perhaps none the less by i be ravages of war. For, where-ever death, the great reaper, thrust In his glikle on any of our battle fields, tbe mor tal agony thrilled through loving hearts, hundreds ot miles awav from the actual scene of the. deadly conflict.- . . t - Tbe heroism that braved death on the battle field, was often over matched by the braver heroism of the .mitten home circle. To suffer, in silence .and alone, in the quiet stillness ot home lite, with a great void in the heart never to be filled by the return of our dead hero, may have required greater courage and . suDlimer devotion to patriotic duty, than to breathe out one's own life amid the excitement and contusion and roar ot battle. We come together, then, as soldiers and citizens, in lull sympathy with one another sharers in a great common sorrow, uow mellowed and softened by time, so that we can speak ot it without tears. We come to the discharge ot the loving duty of the hour in these consecrated grounds, under this peaceful sky, with subdued and chastened spirits. We have all suffered, and by our very sufferings have crown strong er tor duty. The terrible ordeal by which our patriotism has been tested has developed, as we trust, a deeper devotion to our beloved laud. The memory of those we have loved and lost, our fallen heroes, is all the more precious and sacred to us, because they suffered and died for ns and for ours. The peace of this hallowed hour, and all the blessings of peace lu all this wide land are doubly dear, because sealej- patriot dead. It becomes us, therefore, to dedicate this hallowed hour to their precious memory. It becomes us, therefore, in this hallowed hour, to dedicate ourselves anew to patriotic duty. We bring flowers and strew them here by tbe loving hand of beauty, as a tender memorial to those who bave fallen in war, and at the same time, as a joyous thank offering lor the blessings of peace. It may seem to some to be an idle cere-mony to scatter simple flowers that may fade and wither in a day. But fresh flowers in tne spring time are not tbe evanescent things they seem. They are fresh and beautiful, and new every spring time as much so to-day as on tbe first morning in Eden. Yearly, lor six thousand years, they have been fresh and beautiful and new every spring time, so that they are in reality more durable than the monumental marble, and far more beautiful and expressive. They are God's poetry, tbe imprint of his own loving smile on the face of nature. Their return every spring time, so fresh and beautiful and new, alter tbe dull, cold deadness of winter, makes them seem to be one of God's pledge, of th rese-urrection and ot immortality. When one of tbe weeping sisters of Beth- . any appealed to their loving Lord for solace in their great sorrow, the first sympathizing utterance of the compassionate Saviour was, "Thy brother shall rite again! " Let us remember to-day those blessed words of consolation : aod while, by the loving hand and gentle step ot these, our youthful messengers, we shall now strew 11 iwers over these little hillocks that mark the last resting place of tbe quiet sleepers below. . Let il be done In Christian trust and Christian hope. Let it be done as swietly typical ot the perennial bloom and beauty and freshness of that Immortality, when, In the morning of tbe Resurrection, these, our brothers, shall rise again I After tbe address of Mr. Olds, the ceremony of strewing the graves with flower, began, and while it was la progress, the following hymn, composed for the occasion, by Mr. John M. Denig, of this city,' wascbaunted to tbe grand tune of "Old Hunared. ,: is Here la Ibe City of th. Dead. ' With sa Ideas hearts and rer'rent tread. ' - W . com. to mourn our honored braree.

TUB IMPROMPTU MONUMENT. The most beautiful feature of the deco- ratlona, that which attracted universal attention and drew lorth unlimited encomiums of praise from all quarters, was the monument erected in the enter of the en closure containing the remains of the five hundred heroes. This wss designed by sir- leatman Anderson, of this city, who was assisted In Its erection and completion by Col. J. B. Neil, and Mr- Edward Jonea. of the Cnioo Depot tiekttt office. On the four corners of the base of the monument, 2 feet square, were placed cannon balls, large ones on tbe first and small er one. on the second terrace. Between these were appropriately placed muffled drums, cartridge boxes, muskets and bayonets. On the panels of tbe shaft were grouped the . thirty-three battle-stained regimental flags,under whose waving folds propably many a sleeper beneath them bad received his death warrant on the field of carnage. Surmounting the shaft, and lull thirty feet lrom the ground, . beautiful American eagle, with outspread wings, was perched. On the second terrace of the base, rows ef rare and choice baskets of flowers were arranged, the gift of Mr. Hanlord, the horticultoralist. On tbe north front of the first terrace, Mrs. Dr. Ide had tastefully arranged the sentence: "To Our Heroes in Unknown Grave.." All around the base of the grand monument, wreatba ot rare flower, and immortelles, arranged with that 'sweet taste peculiar alone to tender-hearted woman, met the eye of the beholder, and made the monument com plete. . ---u ' - - i . As we stood at Its base, and saw gentle and tender-hearted women bow reverently over tbe grave of some unknown hero, and carefully place her modest offering, with moistened eye and suppressed breath, over the designated head of the remains," we thanked God that there still remained thos? among tbe living who, unforgetful ot the silent dead, devoted one day to this public act in appreciation of tbe eventual history of life. Surely such acts alleviate the sting ot Death, and rob him ol half bis terrors. PRIVATE DECORATIONS." Apart from the five hundred In tbe great enclosure, there were scattered throughout the Cemetery about fifty graves, In which were deposited the remains of those , who had sacrificed life in defense of the Nation's honor. These graves were also taste fully decorated, some of them in the most elaborate manner, and here were witnessed the most touching scenes ot the day. On a little eminence In the southeastern portion of the cemetery, quietly shaded by over-banging branches of evergreens, we saw . modest head stone, over which hung . wreath ot surpassing loveliness. Kneeling at the head of the grave, a broken hearted woman, encircled In ber arms ber children. a bright little boy of tender years and a beautiful girl of twelve. There were no audible sounds of grief. It, was of that deep, untold nature that only can be felt by the sufferer herself. While in this attitude ot quiet remembrance and heartfelt devotion to the remains of him who had been out off, a troupe of girls approached, singing in sweet low strain, a funeral dirge, and each bearing in ber hand . modest wrjath of ' flowers. They ap proached 'the mourning ones and silently deposited their offerings on the grave,! This broke up tbe fountain, in the moth er's heart, and with . wall of anguish she threw herself over the grave of her husband and gave vent to her feelings. We turned away from the ccene, only to en counter others ot similar nature in many localities throughout the cemetery. JOIMNO IN SINGING. While the graves within the enclosure were being decorated, and while the vast concourse in that immediate locality were singing the Hymn, it was with peculiar sweetness that tbe Voices of quartette in various portions ot the grounds, removed from the enclosure, were heard, joining in the' grand chorus. We beard many such, and truly it must have been music such as pleased the ear of God. Everywhere. throughout the drive, and walks of the City of the Dead, there were sad- ened parties of two, three, tour or more, and from all sections came tbe tremulous notes of tender women and the sterner ones of strong men, joining in the notes of the hymn sung to tbe grand tune of "Old Hundred." THE ATTENDANCE. It is impossible, to approach accurately the numbers present. Suffice it to say the people could have been counted by thou sands upon thousands. At a late hour In the afternoon, the tide of visitors was still surging from the city to the cemetery, and although there was an equally observable throng going to the city, there yet seemed to be . multitude on tbe grounds. We have heard but one universal ex pression of opiniou concerning the day and the many ladles and gentlemen who were so assiduous in making its observan ces perfect, and that is that we, as a com munity ot people, have reason to be proud ot its observance, and that on the recur rence of the day, it will be our purpose to repeat the experiences of last Saturday. Foul Plat. At an early hour yester day morning, officer McEwen discovered the dead body ot a white male infant in about the fifth month of fecial existence, lying exposed at tbe opening of the sewer at tbe northeast corner of Front and Broad streets. Tbe Coroner was notified, and a ury empanneled, wbo returned a verdict of Death from unknown causes." The re mains ot tbe unknown were yesterday in terred in tbe cast grave yard.

Tbe metallic roof om the Collins building, at the corner of High street and Mulberry allev. was blown from Its fastenings by the lore of the wind storm, on Ssturday evening, nd hurled to the gronnd. We hear of a num ber of other case, in which chimneys were demolished, roofs considerably damaged, ftci, c.

Some ten days ago a young 'man" applied for and obtained boarding at the House of Mr, George Havens, living about two miles east of the city. On Friday last he repaired to the house, stole therefrom a lot of clothing and $20.85 in money, and came to the city with the Intention of tsking a train lor the East. He was followed by Mr. Havens, who, on comlusr Into the east end ol the Union depot, saw the culprit quietly seated on a chest awaiting the departure ot . train. 'Mr. Havens ran to the other end of tbe depot for officer DeWltt, but the thief discovered tbe movement and at once started like , quarter horse lor. the woods east of the city.

On Saturday we received from an anonymous correspondent, a note written on both sides of a half sheet ot paper. In which it was charged that member of the police force had used unnecessary violence in arresting a colored youthful law-breaker. We thought from the tenor of the writer that he had a little too much vinegar ia his composition for j good health, and this, coupled with tbe ) tact that he had not sufficient courage to 1 use his proper name, led ns to consign his model production to the waste basket where all anonymous communications go. Subsequent examination Into the case confirmed our first Impressions that the offl-cer did not use undue violence In the arrest of his prisoner. .. 1. .... . . A Monster Bass Drtjm.

SCENES AND INCIDENTS. -On Saturday, the day, set apart in compliance with general orders from the headqaarters of the Army of the Republic, the people of our city and ylciulty assent bird by thousands to engataiu the solemn services peculiar to the deooratio. of the K raves of those who had lain down their lives that the Nation's honor might ' b preserved. - - The proclamation of Mayor Moeker, sug gesting the closure of business bouses was almost universally respected, and at noon, i th hour designated forlbe commencement Pe0pi "ll lnPlre na with the determina-of theservices atGreeu Lawnhecitv wore S?."S VAte L5..K.ov"n,met; the aspect of the Sabbath day. Never have we seen an occasion pu which there seemed to be such general disposition on the part of the people to ignore all the active duties of business, and to forego the charms and excitements of pleasure. There was but one impulse apparently actuating the man or business, the mechanic, the manufacturer, the farmer, the professional man. Each and all of tbe great crowd in the city, res ldent and visitor, alike looked beyond tbe river to tbe beautiful cemeterv, and eager ly sought opportunities to reach the sa cred precincts. The roadway to the ceme tery was jammed with a Continuous line ot carriages for hours, and crowds of men, women and children braved the beat ot the burning sun, and trudged thither on foot, rather than miss the opportunity to witness the bestowal of honors over the remains of the holy dead. And as the mighty throng gathered in the "City ol the Dead," and drew near to the enclosure in which repose the remains of five hun dred defenders of their country's fltg, the leeling was apparent that it was most proper to devote one day of each recurring year to the simple duty ot bringing them into active remembrance.

Brers. A song by the chorus next succeeded, which was followed by the address of Col. H. B. Wilson, which we report below : ASDRtSS BT COL. H.. B WILSON. It may be truly as well as beautifully said ot our sleeping heroes, that . , ' "Ob fame' grand camping ground " ' 1 heir silent tents are spread, w bile glory crowds with silence round 1 h. bivoaae of th. dead." And we have assembled here, this day to offer a warm and heartfelt tribute of Section to those of our dead, whose ser- 5 ices, and sufferings, and self-sacrificing evotlon to country entitle them to be' umbered with tbe honored, heroic and hallowed. v ' - - ! We know that the strewing of flowers opon their graves this beautiful and poetical tribute to iheir revered memories-can avail them nothing. Thev are far ha. yond tbe scenes of earth, and in that land i l. " W her. .wl acting spring abides, ' " ! Aod Beyax-wiihermg flowers." But It is a grand sentiment, and one which all wjio have been called upon to mourn the loss of dear and loved oaes find comfort In "That life is .tot lord of death. And Iot. can nerer lose its own." It is the living who love such offerings we hear bring to the memories of our deceased soldiers. We would not sever ourselves lroin the loved ones whose devotion to their country has brought them prematurely to their last long sleep. We frel that we must not lose tnem; and we will annually assemble aronnd tft-lr graves and pour out the tribute and affections of our hearts. Many of oscan And no one sleeping here to whom we were at tne tied by tbe ties of relationship; but they are, nevertheless, ours, lor they poured out their precious blood tor s and for our country. They died that we might be saved from anarcby, tyranny and ruin. We would, however, recognize the higher and holier claims of tho-e who have, sleeping here, those who were bone of tneir bone, and fldth of their fljsb; and we would tender to the lriends and relatives of those honored heroes our heartfelt sympathy. We would have them leel that we lully appreciate the self-sacriflie, tbe nobleness ana me patriotism which prompted them to surrender up their dearest ones as an offering to the cause ot equal rights, good government, justice, order and law. But oh I wno can appreciate the magnitude ot tuch a sacrifice Who that haa everbetn me parent ot a dearly beloved ruJi aff ion . thnt0lK ?Q? enMnd confirmed to us by the blood of the ring sn .ction ot a mother, but dopa not k.t,u feel and know that the sacrifice of the living relatives of these hallowed heroes is far beyond the imperfect expression of our feeble language. And tbe indescribable sacrifice of the living is heightened by the tact that the majority of those who fell In defense ot their country during the late war were the most gifted and promising. "Death loves a shining mark a signal blow." I could name . dozen instances which happened nnder my own personal observation, where a gilted son the pride and hope ot bis family was the first to fall. And I am satisfied that If you will cast your eye over the list of those who went from Columbus, and wbo fell and are burled here, or on some far-off battle field, you will find it to be true that the majority of them were boys and young men, who were the idols and hope of their lriends aud relatives.' And it is a aeeminidy strange truth, but it is not unaccountable, f be generous, tbe truthful, the loviug ana the intelligent, are always brave, daring, and patriotic tliey brave danger from a rense of duty and patriotism, aud will not shirk it or skulk from it. - It was; doubtless, some such reflections is these that prompted tbe great modern poet, who bad lost three beloved nephews in the army, to pen these touching Hue: " Rat at-Ut-tattle through the street. 1 bear tbe drumm ers making riot.

The boo tea of all these hallowed dead will moulder away, and the earth will reclaim that dustot which they were made. In-the flight of years their Individual names will pass from the minds ot men and be forgotten; but they will still live, and will move In that long procession of patriot spirits who died for their country, which, as the ages elapse, will be more and more enveloped Ir. a baze of glory, as men peer " uaenwara inrougn tne mists or time. The memory of our soldiers, fallen in ', just cause, can never die. Imperishable, and with nntadlng lustre, tbe recollections ot the patriot dead will shine among the treasures of our country, and live in the heart of tbe last citizen of the Republic And though discord and dissension, rebellion and revolution may shake the great temple of American lioerty to its center, or tbe raging waves 1 political seaamay wash lrom its foundations tbe rock on, which stands the Coi&aalution, their memories will still live undimned bv time to illume the ages and inspire the sons ' oi men to aeeus oi patriotism and virtue, i These silent graves witn which we are surrounded have lessons for us more solemn and .more impressive than - living tongues can teach. Xhey admonish ns that to the same narrow house, from which they lilt a warning, we must all come. And they beseech us, with mute but eloquent tongues, to so live, one with another, to so act, one towards another, that peace and harmony, justice and cnarity may prevail amongst us forever aa citizens of a common country so that, whether tailing in war as defenders ot our country, or dying in peace, we may close our eyes up-' on the world with a consciousness of having left no duty unperlormed, either of defending our country in an hour of peril, or of promoting the peace and harmony of Its citizens in a time of prosperity. The Columbus Msennerchor then sang in German the beautiful song, l-U titer alien Wipflen ist JiuA." Next came the following .duress, by Hon. C. N. Olds : v ADDRESS BY HON. C X. OLDS. ' There have been occasions when silenee Is more appropriate than speech. When a great sorrow tails suddenly upon the heart, the lips are apt to be seatd.. We have all bad such a sorrow, no indi vidual and personal suffering merely, but wnere a wnoie people have been smitten with grlel. . i-- b. la that fearful trial through whldh we nave passed as- a- nation, our experience has been much like that ot ancient Egypt, when it was recorded of her, there vaat not a house tn ait .Vie land, voherei uiert toa not one dead." But we come . here te-dav. to the last resting place ot our beloved dead, after the nrsr- agony or Dereavement hs passed away. Time with Its gentle band has softened our grief, and Christian resignation and hope have shed tholr healing balm Into, the bleeding heart. bun, on an occasion like this, and with these surroundings, our words may well be few.; ?': r f . ' Another' has spoken in the name of our" soldiers, wbo have survived the fho.k of battle and the ravages of war. It has been allotted to me to say a word in behalf of citizens, who, though they have not sustained in their own person the shock of battle, have still suffered perhaps none the less by i be ravages of war. For, where-ever death, the great reaper, thrust In his glikle on any of our battle fields, tbe mor tal agony thrilled through loving hearts, hundreds ot miles awav from the actual scene of the. deadly conflict.- . . t - Tbe heroism that braved death on the battle field, was often over matched by the braver heroism of the .mitten home circle. To suffer, in silence .and alone, in the quiet stillness ot home lite, with a great void in the heart never to be filled by the return of our dead hero, may have required greater courage and . suDlimer devotion to patriotic duty, than to breathe out one's own life amid the excitement and contusion and roar ot battle. We come together, then, as soldiers and citizens, in lull sympathy with one another sharers in a great common sorrow, uow mellowed and softened by time, so that we can speak ot it without tears. We come to the discharge ot the loving duty of the hour in these consecrated grounds, under this peaceful sky, with subdued and chastened spirits. We have all suffered, and by our very sufferings have crown strong er tor duty. The terrible ordeal by which our patriotism has been tested has developed, as we trust, a deeper devotion to our beloved laud. The memory of those we have loved and lost, our fallen heroes, is all the more precious and sacred to us, because they suffered and died for ns and for ours. The peace of this hallowed hour, and all the blessings of peace lu all this wide land are doubly dear, because sealej- patriot dead. It becomes us, therefore, to dedicate this hallowed hour to their precious memory. It becomes us, therefore, in this hallowed hour, to dedicate ourselves anew to patriotic duty. We bring flowers and strew them here by tbe loving hand of beauty, as a tender memorial to those who bave fallen in war, and at the same time, as a joyous thank offering lor the blessings of peace. It may seem to some to be an idle cere-mony to scatter simple flowers that may fade and wither in a day. But fresh flowers in tne spring time are not tbe evanescent things they seem. They are fresh and beautiful, and new every spring time as much so to-day as on tbe first morning in Eden. Yearly, lor six thousand years, they have been fresh and beautiful and new every spring time, so that they are in reality more durable than the monumental marble, and far more beautiful and expressive. They are God's poetry, tbe imprint of his own loving smile on the face of nature. Their return every spring time, so fresh and beautiful and new, alter tbe dull, cold deadness of winter, makes them seem to be one of God's pledge, of th rese-urrection and ot immortality. When one of tbe weeping sisters of Beth- . any appealed to their loving Lord for solace in their great sorrow, the first sympathizing utterance of the compassionate Saviour was, "Thy brother shall rite again! " Let us remember to-day those blessed words of consolation : aod while, by the loving hand and gentle step ot these, our youthful messengers, we shall now strew 11 iwers over these little hillocks that mark the last resting place of tbe quiet sleepers below. . Let il be done In Christian trust and Christian hope. Let it be done as swietly typical ot the perennial bloom and beauty and freshness of that Immortality, when, In the morning of tbe Resurrection, these, our brothers, shall rise again I After tbe address of Mr. Olds, the ceremony of strewing the graves with flower, began, and while it was la progress, the following hymn, composed for the occasion, by Mr. John M.

TUB IMPROMPTU MONUMENT. The most beautiful feature of the deco- ratlona, that which attracted universal attention and drew lorth unlimited encomiums of praise from all quarters, was the monument erected in the enter of the en closure containing the remains of the five hundred heroes. This wss designed by sir- leatman Anderson, of this city, who was assisted In Its erection and completion by Col. J. B. Neil, and Mr- Edward Jonea. of the Cnioo Depot tiekttt office. On the four corners of the base of the monument, 2 feet square, were placed cannon balls, large ones on tbe first and small er one. on the second terrace. Between these were appropriately placed muffled drums, cartridge boxes, muskets and bayonets. On the panels of tbe shaft were grouped the . thirty-three battle-stained regimental flags,under whose waving folds propably many a sleeper beneath them bad received his death warrant on the field of carnage. Surmounting the shaft, and lull thirty feet lrom the ground, . beautiful American eagle, with outspread wings, was perched. On the second terrace of the base, rows ef rare and choice baskets of flowers were arranged, the gift of Mr. Hanlord, the horticultoralist. On tbe north front of the first terrace, Mrs. Dr. Ide had tastefully arranged the sentence: "To Our Heroes in Unknown Grave.." All around the base of the grand monument, wreatba ot rare flower, and immortelles, arranged with that 'sweet taste peculiar alone to tender-hearted woman, met the eye of the beholder, and made the monument com plete. . ---u ' - - i . As we stood at Its base, and saw gentle and tender-hearted women bow reverently over tbe grave of some unknown hero, and carefully place her modest offering, with moistened eye and suppressed breath, over the designated head of the remains," we thanked God that there still remained thos? among tbe living who, unforgetful ot the silent dead, devoted one day to this public act in appreciation of tbe eventual history of life. Surely such acts alleviate the sting ot Death, and rob him ol half bis terrors. PRIVATE DECORATIONS." Apart from the five hundred In tbe great enclosure, there were scattered throughout the Cemetery about fifty graves, In which were deposited the remains of those , who had sacrificed life in defense of the Nation's honor. These graves were also taste fully decorated, some of them in the most elaborate manner, and here were witnessed the most touching scenes ot the day. On a little eminence In the southeastern portion of the cemetery, quietly shaded by over-banging branches of evergreens, we saw . modest head stone, over which hung . wreath ot surpassing loveliness. Kneeling at the head of the grave, a broken hearted woman, encircled In ber arms ber children. a bright little boy of tender years and a beautiful girl of twelve. There were no audible sounds of grief. It, was of that deep, untold nature that only can be felt by the sufferer herself. While in this attitude ot quiet remembrance and heartfelt devotion to the remains of him who had been out off, a troupe of girls approached, singing in sweet low strain, a funeral dirge, and each bearing in ber hand . modest wrjath of ' flowers. They ap proached 'the mourning ones and silently deposited their offerings on the grave,! This broke up tbe fountain, in the moth er's heart, and with . wall of anguish she threw herself over the grave of her husband and gave vent to her feelings. We turned away from the ccene, only to en counter others ot similar nature in many localities throughout the cemetery. JOIMNO IN SINGING. While the graves within the enclosure were being decorated, and while the vast concourse in that immediate locality were singing the Hymn, it was with peculiar sweetness that tbe Voices of quartette in various portions ot the grounds, removed from the enclosure, were heard, joining in the' grand chorus. We beard many such, and truly it must have been music such as pleased the ear of God. Everywhere. throughout the drive, and walks of the City of the Dead, there were sad- ened parties of two, three, tour or more, and from all sections came tbe tremulous notes of tender women and the sterner ones of strong men, joining in the notes of the hymn sung to tbe grand tune of "Old Hundred." THE ATTENDANCE. It is impossible, to approach accurately the numbers present. Suffice it to say the people could have been counted by thou sands upon thousands. At a late hour In the afternoon, the tide of visitors was still surging from the city to the cemetery, and although there was an equally observable throng going to the city, there yet seemed to be . multitude on tbe grounds. We have heard but one universal ex pression of opiniou concerning the day and the many ladles and gentlemen who were so assiduous in making its observan ces perfect, and that is that we, as a com munity ot people, have reason to be proud ot its observance, and that on the recur rence of the day, it will be our purpose to repeat the experiences of last Saturday. Foul Plat. At an early hour yester day morning, officer McEwen discovered the dead body ot a white male infant in about the fifth month of fecial existence, lying exposed at tbe opening of the sewer at tbe northeast corner of Front and Broad streets. Tbe Coroner was notified, and a ury empanneled, wbo returned a verdict of Death from unknown causes." The re mains ot tbe unknown were yesterday in terred in tbe cast grave yard.
